SPMNADULTS records the total number of adults in the SPM family unit used to calculate the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). SPM family units differ from the family units used to calculate official poverty and are identified in a SPMFAMUNIT.

For more detail about how the Census Bureau calculates SPM for the ACS, please see the Supplemental Poverty Measure using the American Community Survey working paper.
